Teen’s Guide To Traveling With Their Parents – Without Sneaking Out

So you’re excited about the adventures you’ll have when you go to Tokyo or London with your family, but the fantasies have come to a halt when you realize that your parents practically have you on a leash. You have to tag along while you see foreign kids your age running around.

You’re spending more time with your family than you do at home and you’re making each other crazy. On top of all that, your little sibling is being annoying, you’re tired of the boring walks, and shutting yourself up in the hotel room with your iPad seems like the best idea. But don’t fret. There are some ways around this.

Be two steps ahead and gain their trust early on.

Ahead of time, show them you know their phone numbers and the hotel information by heart. You can also arm yourself with facts about the city before asking them for permission, like the directions to the arcade or prices and times for the movies.
